Analysis:
Dulquer Salman aka Ram shined in his character… Along with being an army officer, he also aced the screen presence as a lover boy and showers his love on Sita. Coming to Mrunal, being her debut movie, she definitely bagged the brownie points with her brilliant characterisation. She is strong, independent and beautiful too. The whole movie revolves around her character and thus it is an impressive debut for her. Next in the line is Rashmika Mandanna aka Afreen. Her character is introduced in the beginning itself and she will take us into the story and explore us the beauty of the love tale. Tharun helps her in finding the details of Sita and got a significant role. Well, Sumanth who is introduced as Vishnu Sharma also looked good on the big screens and the jail sequences just make us go aww… He showcased a lot of pain and emotion in the character while Vennela Kishore brought some smiles in a few scenes breaking the seriousness of the plot. Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Bhumika Chawla and Murali Sharma also got noticed in the movie with their limited-yet powerful characterisations. The movie also holds some intense episodes of action and terrorism along with touching patriotic elements.
Technical Aspects:
Hanu Raghavapudi's story did the magic on the screen and the interval twist brings the major brownie points to him. Vishal's music is also melodious and Vinod's camera work showcased the picturesque locations of Kashmir.
Conclusion:
Do watch the movie to find out who is Sita and fall in love with Ram's characterisation and Sita's determination! Not to forget Afreen also does some magic on the screens!
